JAMB PROPOSES DATE FOR 2018 UTME

The Joint Admission and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has proposed March 9 – 17, 2018 as the date for examination for candidates seeking admission into tertiary institutions in Nigeria

JAMB Registrar, Professor Ishaq Oloyede, disclosed this on Wednesday in Abuja while briefing stakeholders on the board’s programmes for the 2018 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME).

Professor Oloyede said they have also pencilled down 620 computer based centres across the country for registration of candidates, adding that not all would be accrediting for the exam.

He further announced that the sales of forms would commence on November 27, 2017, and end on January 22, 2018.

Jamb has also proposed January 22 – 27, 2018 for interested candidates willing to take part in its mock examination, although it would be optional.

According to Oloyede, the mock examination would start the same date the sales of form ends.

He, however, warned against any form of malpractices, saying eyeglasses would be thoroughly examined before candidates are allowed into the examination hall.
